Keeping a notebook is the single best way I know to survive as a writer. It encourages you to pay attention to your world, inside and out. It serves as a container to keep together all the seeds you gather until you’re ready to plant them. It gives you a quiet place to catch your breath and begin to write. Ralph Fletcher, Breathing In, Breathing Out: Keeping a Writer’s Notebook (1996, 1)
